About This Booklet ......................................................................................36

Baden-Powell,

founder of

scouting

movement

oversees a

pioneering project

The greatest blunders, like the thickest ropes, are often

compounded of a multitude of strands. Take the rope apart,

separate it into the small threads that compose it, and you can

break them one by one. You think, “That is all there was!” But

twist them all together and you have something tremendous.

Victor Hugo

O time, thou must untangle this, not I.

It is too hard a knot for me to untie.

William Shakespeare

Pioneering Merit Badge Requirements

Bridges

1. Show that you know first aid for injuries or illness that could

occur while working on pioneering projects, including minor

cuts and abrasions, bruises, rope burns, blisters, splinters,

sprains, heat and cold reactions, dehydration, and insect

bites or stings.

2. Do the following:

a. Successfully complete Tenderfoot requirements 4a and 4b

and First Class requirements 7a, 7b, and 7c . (These are

the rope-related requirements.)

b. Tie the following: square knot, bowline, sheepshank,

sheet bend, and roundturn with two half hitches.

c. Demonstrate the following: tripod and round lashings.

3. Explain why it is useful to be able to throw a rope, then

demonstrate how to coil and throw a 40-foot length of 1/4-

or 3/8-inch rope. Explain how to improve your throwing

distance by adding weight to the end of your rope.

Monkey Bridge

4. Explain the differences between synthetic ropes and

natural-fiber ropes. Discuss which types of rope are suitable

for pioneering work and why. Include the following in your

discussion: breaking strength, safe working loads, and the

care and storage of rope.

5. Explain the uses for the back splice, eye splice, and short

splice. Using 1/4- or 3/8-inch three-stranded rope,

demonstrate how to form each splice.

6. Using a rope-making device or machine, make a rope at

least 6 feet long consisting of three strands, each having

three yarns.

7. Build a scale model of a signal tower or a monkey bridge.

Correctly anchor the model using either the 1-1-1 anchoring

system or the log and stake anchoring method. Describe the

design of your project and explain how the anchoring system

works.

8. Demonstrate the use of rope tackle to lift a weight of 25

pounds and pulling a log at least 6 inches in diameter and 6

feet long with the tackle. Use the tackle to put tension on a

line. Explain the advantages and limitations of using a rope

tackle. In your explanation, describe the potential damage

that friction can do to a rope.

Suspension Bridge

9. By yourself, build an A-trestle OR X-trestle OR H-trestle

using square and diagonal lashings. Explain the application

of the trestle you build. Demonstrate how to tie two spars

together using a shear lashing.

10. With a group of Scouts, OR on your own, select a pioneering

project. With your counselor's guidance, create a rough

sketch of the project. Make a list of the ropes and spars

needed, then build the project. (Note: This requirement

may be done at summer camp, at district or council events,

or on a troop camp outing.)
